2-25-10 Tammy is not at peace with the surgery options. She feels God is leading them to seek additional opinions. Two co-workers Kathy and Meagen talk to her about Johns Hopkins and its reputation. She felt like the Holy Spirit was encouraging her. She went to JH's website then emailed Dr. Mark Schoenburg. The doctor forwards my email to his nurse to set up an appointment. (The goosebumps are popping as I dictate this-Penny) Within 4 hours the nurse calls back with an opening due to a cancellation on 3-9-10. She stated that cancellation are very unusually.
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find: knock and the door will be opened to you".
Tammy calls Ted and she is so excited and in amazement that everything happened so smoothly and so quickly. Ted said NO. He only has Monday's off and the appointment is not on a Monday.
If you can't hear God in the tough stuff of your life it's unlikely you will hear him in the good stuff.
On 2-28-10 All three of Ted's sisters call and encourage him to take the appointment. Janet told Ted that when she relayed his story and how the contact with Dr. Schoenburg was paved there was not a dry eye in her Sunday School class. After talking with Janet; Ted asked Tammy to give him a copy of all the emails. As he read them tears appeared in his eyes. He realized that God is present in this journey and there is hope in their future.
3-7-10 Our friends Larry & Phyllis give us a book titled "God is in the tough stuff.
Some passages from the book: God doesn't remove the difficulty and the pain, but He will be there with you through it all.
God's continued presence with you is one of His presents to you.
